When Cesar Kuriyama saved up enough money to quit his advertising job at the age of 30, he planned to take a year off to travel and spend time with family.To document the year, Kuriyama filmed one second of video every day."After just six weeks, I realised I was going to be doing that for the rest of my life," he says.After editing the clips into a single video, Kuriyama had not only a record of daily life, but a new perspective on how he lived day to day.
Mr Parkinson also spotted this article. I had thought of doing it just initially for fun but Mr Parkinson has some ideas for using this as a deeper reflective tool...
How can it impact on your teaching?Well, as Cesar says "self reflection is never a bad thing," which is always an important message for teachers. Can you go a week, half term, year without repeating the same video? Can you always provide an opportunity to capture a special moment each day you teach? Could it be used to record achievements of all your children in the class, regardless of ability? Would you use it to record your class' learning journey? or as a way of documenting successful lessons so you always remember them? It is a task that would definitely make you conscious of your approach in the classroom yet one that would provide a wonderful opportunity to reflect and remind yourself of the great lessons/moments you grant as a teacher.
